Corruption
In the heart of the city’s core,
where power’s grasp seeks more and more,
a politician with a smile
hides his lies and greedy cunning.
Hands that shake in false accord,
deals that line his pocket’s hoard.
Every promise made for gain,
feeding on the public’s pain.
Behind closed doors, the money flows,
a hidden world where darkness grows.
Contracts signed with secret bribes,
hidden truths and whispered lies.
The city’s streets, they crumble down,
while he wears a golden crown.
In every alley, every street,
the people suffer from deceit.
A mother cries for justice lost,
her child’s future sold for cost.
While in his mansion, safe and sound,
he watches as the world spins round.
In the shadows where deals are made,
the city’s heart begins to fade.
Every promise a broken dream,
in the web of power’s scheme.
Whispers of a revolution grow,
in the places where despair does show.
People rise with angry cries,
tired of living in disguise.
The walls of power start to crack,
under the weight of the people’s lack.
A reckoning that’s long been due,
as the corrupt begin to rue.
In the city where darkness spread,
hope begins to rise from the dead.
But the fight is far from won,
as they face the rising sun.
